Answer the prompt below and substantively participate in at least one of your peers' discussions. That means your replies to your colleagues' posts must be either important to their making improvements or meaningful to their understanding.
Read the posts and comments prior to yours so you can avoid repeating information others have written. If you want to discuss similar thoughts or observations, reference what others have said and perform one of the following operations:
- add a new insight to the thought or observation
- provide a different example and clarify what additional nuances it reveals
- discuss the causes or implications of the thought or observation, or
- compare, contrast, or otherwise relate the thought or observation to other thoughts or observations, and explain what nuances that process reveals.
(Remember to utilize your assigned readings to validate your position).
1. Rates of physical IPV against women have declined since 1975. Do you believe these rates will continue to decline? Why or why not? Do you think that perhaps psychological maltreatment and coercive control have increased as a result of the decreased public acceptance of physically assaulting a female partner?
2. Social isolation is consistently associated with IPV. To what extent might social isolation cause IPV? To what extent might it be a result? How can prevention and intervention programs reduce women's social isolation in order to reduce the risk of IPV?
3. Consider the overlap between intimate partner physical violence, sexual assault, psychological maltreatment, and stalking. How would you design a primary prevention program that address each type of IPV?
